‘King In Yellow’- themed anthology, A Season In Carcosa, out now from Miskatonic River Press

“H.P. Lovecraft. Karl Edgar Wagner. Peter Straub. Those are a few of the names that stand tall in our genre and when it comes to Robert W. Chambers and his King in Yellow (first published in 1895) they agree, Chambers’ beguiling tales of the King In Yellow and Carcosa are among the best in weird fiction. Miskatonic River Press and Joseph S. Pulver, Sr. are proud and delighted to present a themed anthology of all new tales inspired by Chambers.

In haunted and splintered mindsâ€¦ Minds shackled to lonely placesâ€¦In the unbound shadows infesting hearts of beautiful woman with frantic sensationsâ€¦In an old house where biblical thrivedâ€¦In threadbare truths, disturbed by despair, cobwebbed with illusionsâ€¦In far cold Carcosaâ€¦Lies madness.

In A Season In Carcosa readers will find the strange and mysterious places of heart and mind that spring from madness, and those minds and the places touched by it are the realms that are mined. Chambers’ legacy of the worms and soft decay that spring from reading the King In Yellow stir both new and established talents in the world of weird fiction and horror to contribute all new tales that pay homage to these eerie nightmares. In Carcosa twilight comes and minds lost in the mirrors of lust and fear, are awash in legacies of shadows, not mercy. . .”
